Ohanaeze Ndigbo Denies Reports Of A New National Youth Leader

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the Igbo people’s apex socio-cultural organisation, has denied media reports that Mr Livinus Obasi has been elected as its new National Youth Leader.

Mr Alex Ogbonnia, National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, denied the allegations during a press conference in Owerri on Monday.

Although the Organization’s former Youth Leader, Mr Damian Okafor, had been suspended, Ogbonnia stated that the National Executive Council (NEC), led by its President-General, Prof. George Obiozor, was still working hard to resolve the issues that had led to his suspension.

Ogbonnia, a former Chairman of the Organization in Enugu, urged the public not to be misled by “deceptive media reports of a purported bye-election” to replace the suspended Youth Leader, saying such reports were the work of mischief makers.

“It is true that Okafor was suspended, but the NEC is working assiduously to resolve the issues, and when we do, the public will be duly informed.

“The NEC is not aware of any bye-election to replace Okafor. The said election lacks credibility; is not known to us, and was neither approved nor supervised by us. We therefore refuse to recognise Obasi as youth leader “, he said.
